December 2010

This past month has been fun, exciting, relaxing and peaceful. Minus our computer being out of commission for 2 weeks everything else has been wonderful. In the years that Kiel and I have been together we’ve had some very different Christmas holidays. The First year we drove up to Utah and surprised everyone for a short weekend. The next year we spent at home with Kiel’s 2 younger brothers. Very mellow and relaxing. The Next year we spent at home with our baby Connor, again very quiet and relaxing… The 4th year….. We spent in the hospital with Connor.. not as much fun…. but all ended up ok. Last year we spent in Park City playing in the snow with baby Chloe. Now that the kids are getting bigger Christmas is getting more fun for us. Christmas Eve we spent having dinner and opening presents at Kiel’s Mom’s house… it was a very nice dinner and the kids had a blast with their gifts. It was really nice to be at home and do things our way and allow the kids to run the show for once. Connor loved being the emcee and going and getting all the presents for everyone.  After all the presents were open on Christmas and after Chloe had a very short nap we made our way to Kiel’s dads' place to drop off gifts… then on to Sean’s house for dinner. And before we knew it the day was gone. In a blink of an eye it seemed. It was a wonderful weekend. I don’t think the kids have been able to play with each and every toy they got from Christmas but I am sure they will. Here are the long awaited pictures!!!!

*Only the top half of our Christmas tree was decorated due to our little terrorizer, Chloe!              *We made cookie trains with Sean and Michelle (and their kiddos), Marc and Mikia, and Alan.   *Kiel couldn’t wait until Christmas eve to dig in… so our train was gone a couple of days later…*Chloe let me do double French braids on her for Christmas Eve.. so adorable!!

*At Grandma Theresa’s house for Christmas Eve.. opening presents… Chloe was all about the candy!!!

*Christmas Morning… we all slept in until 8am and slowly made our way downstairs and then the madness started!! Once again .. Chloe passed up on her baby doll for Chocolates… hmm….. and with every toy that was opened.. it needed to be put together and tested. The present opening time went by a little too slow dad.

Once again…. while Connor is playing with his new toys… where is Chloe??? The boys were excited about their matching jerseys.. Connor goes, “I like Daddy now!” Plus I heard there was IronMan in Utah.. but in Arizona we had SuperMan.. a costume like 4 sizes too big for him..but he loved it. And lastly with a new big bike to grow into.. Connor had an amazing Christmas. As well as us all. We were all spoiled rotten and loved every minute of it!!

Hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas!!!!
